Karas Reserve Blend

"Karas" Reserve Blend is a dry red wine produced from a blend of international grape varieties. The vineyard terroir is characterized by a mountainous continental climate with hot summers and cold, dry winters. The soils are heavy, stony, and volcanic in origin. The harvest is done manually in mid-September into 20 kg boxes. At the winery, the berries are sorted on double-selection tables. After a 5-day cold maceration, fermentation takes place at 26–28 ºC for 20 days along with malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged in 225-liter French and Armenian oak barrels for 12–14 months.
